Summary
The bill requires every hospital in Oregon to set up a nurse staffing committee made up of an equal number of nurse managers and direct‑care nurses. The committee must develop a written, hospital‑wide or unit‑specific staffing plan, meet regularly, and report the plan to the state health authority. The goal is to ensure staffing levels match patient care needs while giving nurses a voice in staffing decisions.
